1. Two plastic rivets on top of the grille
2. Two 8mm screws in the wheel well where the bumper meets the fender. They screw in vertically.
3. As many plastic rivets as you can see under the car holding the bumper and splash shield together/to the chassis. I think around 6-8.
4. Pull the bumper down and out at the wheel well to get it off the peg the screw went into.
5. Pull towards the front of the car. Ta da!

Installation is reverse.

I wouldn't want to either... why do the hole need to be so big for 1 strobe?

Oh... meh, you can always put them in and put a sh*t ton of silicone caulk around them... be easy to remove and plug too.
